Whatever the gig or service you recently performed, no matter how easy or difficult, be sure to show your appreciation for the compensation you're offered in return, even if it's unlike any payment you've received before. Why such complicated advice? Because the support your Pluto co-ruler is getting could be coming from someone who is more self-serving than most. Subtle and tenuous relationships are involved, so if you would like to maximize the benefits of this connection, don't ask questions, don't make waves.

Trust that the surprise will be a pleasant one and that artistic Venus' merger with inventive Uranus will introduce something, someone truly amazing to your household. You don't have to profess undying love, but you should give yourself some time to see if this item, this person will bring you the good fortune indicated by Venus' trine to your Jupiter ruler. Meanwhile, sharpen your verbal skills and refine your literary ambitions; while Mercury is in fiery Aries, the desire to express yourself can bubble up and overflow.

A friendly game of poker or Greed may turn out to be a bigger bonanza than you could have anticipated. While generous Jupiter in Scorpio and lucky Venus in Pisces align, Goats, sitting half-way between those two signs, can reap unexpected benefits. However, if this choice opportunity appears in a different guise, e.g. a neighbor's charity event, go for it as well. Anything to keep you distracted while the stubborn Taurus sun gets ready to test your resolute Saturn ruler. What worries you the most? A self-involved parent or a real estate matter?

No matter if you were born around the Chinese New Year or closer to Valentine's Day, every Aquarian gets to face a challenge of some sort this week. A few are fairly easy, e.g., figuring out how much of Jupiter's promise of prosperity is too much of a good thing. Some are more difficult, e.g., how to get your hard-headed spouse, i.e., Saturn in your Leo marriage house, to do what you want him or her to do. And, due to the strength of the fertile Taurus sun, problems are about to surface for some homeowners. Have faith in yourself and all this shall pass. Eventually.

Among the more fortunate of planetary aspects, almost as excellent as the coveted conjunction, is the trine between benevolent Venus and magnanimous Jupiter that takes place this week. While Venus passes through Pisces every year, Jupiter's transit of Scorpio, a supportive water sign, occurs only once every twelve years. No matter how blessed you think you are, don't let their favors slip past your grasp. It'll be another two years until an opportunistic sextile from Jupiter in Capricorn offers the Fish something that's not nearly as good.
